The first page of each unit offers a wealth of content to help students engage
with the theme, starting with the Unit Snapshot, which contains interesting
conversation questions to get students thinking about the upcoming content. The
main feature of this page is a vibrant, intriguing image from Blink photography
with discussion questions to generate interest in the theme and personalize the
content. A short video from the Blink photographer is also introduced to bring
the stories of these images to life. The Real-World Goal, listed at the bottom of
the page in each unit, raises students’ awareness of their learning, and shows the
tangible benefits of their efforts.

Lesson 5: Speaking
The final lesson of each unit is dedicated to developing students’ speaking
fluency, a key part of the Wide Angle series. A variety of activities in the Student
Book, as well as Online Practice, build the language students need for effective
communication.
Floating features
The following features are taught in context and appear flexibly throughout each
unit, which enables teachers to introduce language naturally as communicative
needs arise.
Pronunciation Skill
Wide Angle recognizes that pronunciation is a major factor that contributes
to a speaker’s intelligibility, so pronunciation skills are practiced in each unit.
Pronunciation Skill boxes practice both individual sounds and word stress, as
well as broader features of intonation and connected speech. Pronunciation
audio exposes students to natural models of English speech, and the tasks offer
meaningful practice.
Grammar in Context
Key grammar for each unit is identified in Grammar in Context boxes. These boxes
provide clear explanations for each grammar point. Example sentences are directly
related to the content of each lesson, and grammar points build on one another
throughout the text. Students can also reference the Grammar focus pages,
located after the Unit Review pages.
Vocabulary
Thematic vocabulary from the Oxford 3000 (levels 1-4) or 5000 (levels 5-6) is
taught throughout each unit. The Oxford 3000 / 5000 are word lists of the most
important and relevant vocabulary for English learners. The vocabulary for each
unit relates to the theme and is appropriate for the learners’ current level.
Appendices
Unit Reviews
Each Unit Review allows students to demonstrate their learning and feel confident
in their knowledge. Every unit review includes vocabulary and grammar practice
in the Student Book, and additional practice online. Discussion Point encourages
in-depth conversation prompted by Oxford Reference material. Based on What’s
Your Angle? tasks, the Zoom In feature allows students to personalize and to
demonstrate their knowledge from the unit with a series of speaking and writing
tasks. Every Zoom In task is followed by a self-assessment, allowing students to
reflect on what they know and what they still need to work on.
Grammar focus
The back of the Wide Angle student book features an additional page of
supplementary grammar reference for each unit, designed to expand on
the grammar points covered in the Student Book. While grammar points are
introduced contextually within each unit, the Grammar focus pages provide
helpful succinct rules and clear “formulas” to help students gain broader picture of
the English grammar system.
Workbook
The printed Workbook offers additional practice for all features of the Wide Angle
Student Book. The Workbook includes new readings to practice skills in each unit,
listening comprehension in the Unit Review Podcast, support for Discussion
Board writing, additional English For Real work, as well as grammar and
vocabulary practice.
